Engineering Pathway
The Engineering Pathway at YVHS provides students with hands-on, real-world learning in design, prototyping, robotics, and computer-aided manufacturing through a sequence of Project Lead The Way (PLTW) courses. In addition to technical skills, students develop essential work-readiness competencies such as collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, and communication. Students are also exposed to various work-based learning opportunities, including informational interviews, resume writing, mock job interviews, college tours, mentorship, and internships—helping them explore STEM careers and build confidence for life after high school.
The pathway also offers enriching extracurricular opportunities such as Project 212 Robotics, the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam, and dual enrollment Engineering Technology courses through Diablo Valley College.
